    Are there any boxing nicknames that should've been used for a fighter but weren't? Or any nickname that would reflect the boxers style/personality.

    For example. Louis, Wilder or Shavers could've been called 'Alabama Hammer' since they all come from there and are known for hitting hard.

    Throw in a few joke ones for a laugh.
    Don't like calling boxers bums but Dominic 'Bumzeale' always makes me smile
    'Prime' Mike Tyson is said more than 'Iron' Mike, missed opportunity there etc.

    When I read that Zabdiel is a Hebrew word meaning "gift of God" I thought Zab Judah had wasted the opportunity to be "Godspeed."

    Julian "the Bat" Jackson, instead of "the Hawk".
    Blind as a bat, hit like a bat.

    This kind of resumes his african and british background and goes along with his initials.
